> I use RMAIL and receive tons of emails per day.  I can try and look for such a message and keep it if I see one.  But I need to understand what is an email message with "more than a single MIME part, not all of them HTML".  If an email with a text/plain part followed by a text/html part, not embedded into a multipart container, satisfies your definition, I think I can easily find one.

I'd love to have such an email.  The telltale sign that an email
message is a good example of what's being discussed here is that Emacs
sets truncate-lines = t in the RMAIL buffer when viewing the message.

Thanks.
